This iOptron Hard Case protects your CEM70 mount whether you're heading out for a night of observation or you just need to store it safely. The case features a foam-lined lid and a custom-cut foam insert that holds the mount in place and cushions it from impacts with space left over for the hand controller, counterweight, and other smaller accessories like an off-axis guider. The hard aluminum exterior has reinforced edges on the outside to help minimize denting and damage. There are dual locking latches to secure the lid in place and a molded hinged handle.
